Im getting out soon and would like to know the differences between the two. I signed a 6 and 2 contract with the guard and it's coming to an end so I have to choose to serve in the ING or IRR. Thanks in advance

IRR: you have no responsibilities, you can immediately come back in to a unit (guard or reserve) or just do some IMA drills, volunteer for anything on TOD, or do nothing at all until the contract runs out.
ING: you are still in your para/line in a Guard unit, in a no duty, no pay authorized status. You must attend a muster every 12 months, maybe get a PHA. You could get released from ING and involuntarily mob with that unit. You must get released from ING if you want to join any component before your ETS comes up.
If you are coming up on your six years now, that is your ETS, the other two are just automatically IRR. Technically you would have to extend past your six year ETS to even qualify for ING.

Does your contract obligations (say 3 years left) continue to tick while on ING or does it freeze and you have to make those 3 years up at some point? Ive heard both but not sure which is true

SSG (Join to see) - Your contract ticks. You can ETS from the ING.
What stops is your bonus. if you had a bonus going into the ING, you must extend for an equal length of time coming out of the ING to get the rest of the original bonus, e.g. 6 months in ING means extend for 6 more months coming out to retain the whole bonus.

All about the same: one keeps a relation with the Army Reserves and the other with the NG in an inactive status.
